"A unique and expressive use of the saxophone to be savoured and enjoyed...a tone like no other player."
Sebastian Scotney, London Jazz News

"Buddy Wells is for me the real stadard bearer for modern South African saxophone playing, containing so much that has gone before in his tone and way with an improvisation."
Peter Bacon, thejazzbreakfast.com
 

“Peerless” 

Gwen Ansell, The Con Mag

"In a Spine-chilling moment, Wells' harmonics reach back...to the overtone singing of the Xhosa-speaking peoples and the bow music of the Khoi and San"
Gwen Ansell, 

 

Wells uses the full range of his hazy saxophone sound like an aural web.

​The Financial Times, Europe

 

“It’s always a pleasure to listen to his inventive playing.”
